THE UNcoMPLETED CRUISERS,
Pending decision by the attorney general
of the question as to whether the cruisers
Chicago, Atlantic and Boston can be com
pleted by the navy department. In view OF the
failure OF congress to make SPECIFIC apprO.
prlaton for the purpose, all work on the
vessels has been suspended. The opinion Is
generally entertained at the department that
the general fund appropriated for construc-
on the cruisers. At the beginning Of the
present month 100000 OF this fund remained
available after meeting the requirements Of
the various navy yards, and 1t Is believed
that this sum, If applied to the new cruisers,
would suffice to complete them.
